Donald Trump Repeats 'China Virus' Slur on Fox News on Same Night As Atlanta Shootings

Former President Donald Trump referred to COVID-19 as the "China virus" in a television interview on the night that several Asian women were shot dead at three massage parlors in Georgia.

Eight people were killed, six of them Asian women, in shootings that took place on Tuesday evening, authorities said. The first was at Young's Asian Massage along Highway 92 in Acworth, about 30 miles from Atlanta, around 5 p.m. Two more shootings took place in Atlanta about an hour later.

A 21-year-old white man, Robert Aaron Long, was later taken into custody.

Authorities have yet to confirm a motive, but the shootings come amid a spike in attacks against Asian Americans in the U.S. Many lawmakers and celebrities took to Twitter to speak out about the issue, using the hashtag #StopAsianHate.

"Former President Trump found dead of apparent heart attack"

Anything else?
I wish the press and everyone else would simply ignore him and his antics.
He wants attention, regardless of the kind of attention.

I just want the world to be free of the scourge that is Donald Trump.

So I have no idea what this “anti-Chinese” slur was. Does anyone know? Or is it simply that he again referred to Covid as the “China virus”?
